HEBRON ESTATES - One who is established in news print rarely has an opportunity to tackle creative writing, much less Greek mythology.

Some of the creative minds at North Bullitt High School challenged their inner artists for an opportunity at appearing in professional print, thanks to Periphas, a collection of pieces published into small book form.

The book’s title comes from a legendary king of Attica who was turned into an eagle by the jealous god Zeus, only after Apollo asked Zeus to spare the life of Periphas.

The Mount Washington Under-6 All-Star team, the youngest All-Star team that the league names has had a strong summer.

Unlike some of the older All-Star teams, the U-6 squad does not have tourneys in the Cal Ripken/Babe Ruth series. Instead, the machine-pitch group plays in some independent tournaments. On July 11-12, the team won the Die Hard Invitational at Valley Sports Complex. The team also finished second in the Firecracker Tournament at Fern Creek. The team still has a tournament at Germantown.

HILLVIEW – It was a short, but action-packed summer for the Dolphins at Cooper Farms, the area swim team that has over half of its team members from Bullitt County.

Because the school year in both Bullitt County and Jefferson County went well into June, the Dolphin swim team did not get into the pool until June 8. There, the team members met new coach Geof Thomas who took over during the winter from former head coach Kathy Abell.

Brooke White, a former Dolphin team member, served as Thomas’ assistant coach this summer.

HLLVIEW - It was a long fiscal year for the Hillview City Council, but the city has officially approved its 2015-16 budget.

The council unanimously approved the budget, with less funding carried over from the previous year.

Mayor Jim Eadens said the general fund carryover of $148,000, down substantially from last year’s carryover of $303,000, was due to more back taxes, money given back to the county involving insurance tax, and continuation of annexation upgrades.

SHEPHERDSVILLE –The high school golf season will be starting in less than two weeks, but for some local players the summer has already been filled with play on the links.

Last week, the Musselman-Dunne Junior Golf Tour, part of the Kentucky Junior Golf Foundation, held its championship tournament at Big Spring Country Club in Jefferson County. The MDGT Championship capped off four months of golf for the junior players.
